Gizi Weiss lives somewhere in eastern Europe at the end of the 1980's. She works as an engineer in a planing institute but abruptly she gets transferred. She is appointed head of a section. She sheds her belongings. It's March. Foggy, cold, dark and muddy. She's on the way to the train under escort. The train journeys through the industrial landscape towards the decrepit - but still functioning - pollution spewing factory. Gizi continues the journey on a hand-powered rail rider, still under escort. Another rail-rider approaches from the other direction carrying a worn out man - with an escort. Gizi Weiss cannot recognize a former collegue and present failure, doctor Potra. The rail rider reaches another office where Gizi "exchanges" her remaining belongings. The section is still far away, up in the mountains, drowned in snow, on the shore of a lake. The section is an ice cold shack with two beds and scampering weasels. For this period in her life, of unknown duration, this will be Gizi's place, living with a rodent of a man called "Öcsi" or "Petya".
